A -- ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM WORKSHOP SOL Q- POC Technical Contact: Dan Stokesberry (301) 975-3605 The National Institute of Standards and Technology Advanced Technology Program is announcing Regional Workshops on Software Technology January/February 1995, co-sponsored by: New Orleans Technology Council, New Orleans, LA; Arizona Software Association, Tempe, AZ; The Colorado Chapter of the Technology Transfer Society, Boulder, CO; North Carolina Electronics and Information Technologies Association (NCEITA), Research Triangle Park, NC. The purpose of the Regional Workshops is to introduce key business and technical decision makers within software and information technology companies to the ATP and to encourage cooperative technical endeavors that will benefit the U.S. economy, whether or not within the context of the ATP. The workshops are intended primarily for CEOs and chief technologists of information technology companies within the region of the meeting. Those from other areas of technology or other geographic regions are welcome, however. Hopefully, attendance will be small enough to provide an informal workshop atmosphere. We would like to limit participation to one business and one technical decision maker per organization. The workshop offers an opportunity to build consensus and to initiate cooperative efforts within the community to solve common problems whose solutions are beyond the scope of any single company. The meeting is not intended to identify or promote specific technical approaches or to evaluate project proposals. No program selections will be made or endorsed at this workshop. Each workshop will last one day and will cover five major topics: Introduction to the ATP, including purpose, history, and status. Registration forms and fees should be returned directly to the co-sponsor address and not to NIST. The sooner you submit your registration, the more it helps us with planning and arrangements. No provision has been made for cancellations or refunds, but alternates may be sent. Other non-technical questions should be addressed to the appropriate co-sponsor as indicated in the site information. If you wish to make a presentation or participate in a panel, submit your statement of workshop position to Dan Stokesberry at address below.
